You may be right, but consider this line of argument:

The Esoteric Section's name was changed to the Esoteric SCHOOL of 
Theosophy (EST)

The motivation behind this was to make clear that the EST is not a 
section of the TS like the American, British, etc., sections are

The point of that was that the EST is not a part of the TS, even 
though TS membership was a precondition of membership in the EST

That said, it makes sense that the EST might excuse itself from 
complying with or even recognizing the three objects. Most 
Theosophists do not pay any attention to the three objects. Ehy 
should the EST?
